Sherwin Area Trails Special Study (SATSS)

Project Description: In the fall of 2008, and in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and MLTPA, the Town of Mammoth Lakes (TOML) launched an important new project: the Sherwin Area Trails Special Study, or SATSS. SATSS identifies options for trails within its defined study area, options for recreational uses and/or activities, and opportunities for public access between the study area and the Town's existing trail system. This study area is defined as the general area south of the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) between the Hayden Cabin site and Sherwin Creek Road on the east and Old Mammoth Road on the west, up to Lake Mary Road.

Contact MLTPA if you need help arranging to get copies of the 11 x 17 inch maps printed.

DELIVERABLES: MLTPA put together the initial data set for SATSS, including the field collection of more than 30 miles of GPS data documenting use trails, streams, roads, fence lines, and drainages. Check out the documents and maps, below, that MLTPA put together as first steps in the SATSS process.
